Discuss Ridiculous pricing ? OMG!!!!! in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

There’s a few bits I’ve not included as you can imagine out lights couple of out sockets etc etc. My price was £1120ish so all your costs sound there or there abouts. Materials around 4K.

customer has gone with a price for all the above of..... wait for it...... £4900!!!!!!!!
Bearing in mind the customer is a tradesman himself would’ve thought they would see the price is bollo***** unbelievable!!!!!
Can only think that is a labour only price and the 'tradesman' can get the parts 'cheaper'

Still low ball but otherwise it will be a total cluster.
 
£1120 seems a bit low, presume you meant £11200.
keep on good terms with the customer, he might need you to come and finish the job when the other spark does a runner with the cash.
Yer £11200 oops!!! That’s what I’ll do Maybe if they get a written quote (which surely they haven’t) they will come back.
 
Or maybe they’ve found the worlds best and most generous spark?? Actually now I think about it fair play to the boy doing his bit for charity ???
 
quick look at OP. i'd be saying around £15 -18K.

£14,500 (not including the cctv which I would price seperat)

Wouldn’t touch it for less than 14 grand , if they want it done for under 14 grand they can find somebody else
 
I think my £1120 is perfectly ok for the region I work in, all though I appreciate people’s opinions on higher prices. I’m still slightly expecting to hear that a “typo”was to blame!!
